CLASSIC TV
ON DVD: Growing
Pains
From the height of the 'new wave' era comes Growing Pains, The Complete
First Season to remind us just how much things have changed; this
series originally aired from 1985 to April 1992.
If you grew up watching the show - or merely want to show your kids what
life was like (highly idealized, of course) when you were younger, Growing
Pains jabs you directly in the nostalgia bone - and you may find
the ache lingers.
Growing Pains was a 'modern' reinterpretation of the standard
sitcom format that had fallen so out of favor by the early-eighties, sweeping
away the cornball nature of The Andy Griffith Show &
Leave it to Beaver - and the constant bickering of families in One
Day at a Time & The Jeffersons - to reinvent the family
sitcom.
Thanks to soaring ratings for programs like Growing Pains (and
Family Ties) it was OK to portray a loving, functional family
on TV again.
Warner Home Video always delivers juicy extras - on this set you get a
new documentary with the original cast reunited, a very funny gag reel,
and a peek at the unaired pilot episode (with Elizabeth Ward in Tracey
Gold's role).
The pain from Growing Pains, The Complete First Season comes
when watching the fashions - did we ever really dress that way?
The
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - The Complete Third Season
Another seminal family show, this one from the nineties, The Fresh
Prince of Bel-Air - The Complete Third Season delivers the laughs
from the 3rd year (1992-1993) of the this show's astonishing six-year
run.
This is the season Philip runs for Judge, Vivian has a baby, Hilary is
hired as a TV weather girl and the whole family appears on Oprah. You
get all 24 episodes of this preposterously broad sitcom on four discs
(that's nearly twelve hours of Will Smith actin' a fool) with
a fantastic price of $20.99 if you order online now. A cast reunion
featurette with a run of bloopers are included as extras. If you love
the show you'll want to own this one!
